Go get them maachuu
I hope you crank them out of there but have your jig poles tied and ready to go. If your going to crank, then try solid black in less than 15 ft of water and slow it down (1.2 - 1.4) especially early in the morning.:D
My vote is always not to crank!
Cranking's about done I believe. Gonna put mine up for the yeat
I think your right but I sure hate to give up crankin' this early but I like eating fresh fish year round.Quote:

well done nothing on the cranks and didnt do much better on the jigs, I caught stripes on the jigs when I would come across a bait ball that was holding what I thought wouldve been crappie but not a crappie in the boat today. now keep in mind I didnt have minnows on the jigs, just some crappie nibbles, minnows get hard to find around here after spring
oh well, I for sure caught more than I would have is I had slept in and not went :)

Those 21 we kept came on jigs and nibbles, no minnows. I guess I'm lazy but minnows are just too much work for me.
I caught some good ones today pulling cranks on the rez. I'll keep the pulling stuff in the boat but like yikess said, I'll have the minnow and jig stuff ready if needed.
Got 2 buddies on Enid that boated 23 keepers yesterday and when I talked to them a couple of hours ago they had 30 keepers in the boat today. Minners and my jigs.
Do you think they were literally threading the minnows on one of your jig heads possibly without a tube?Quote:
